SAF-T report (TX50600S)
This topic gives you information about the elements that you find in this window in Visma Net, such as fields, field values, buttons, and check boxes.
The purpose of this report is to report accounting figures to the government in a standardised format.
Before you start
Before you can send or download a SAF-T file, you must go to the Organisations (CS101500) window, to enter some information. On the tab Altinn settings, enter the contact person, phone number, email address, and reference number for the report. This number is provided by the government when the report is due.
Depending on the Organisation type and if File Tax by branch is selected, you have to go to the Branches (CS102000) window.
The top part| Button | Description |
|---|---|
| Send report | Click this button to create the report according to the filter and selections made, and send it to the Government portal (Altinn) as a zipped file. The system will not validate the file during this process, and the Government will contact you regarding the result. If the size of the file exceeds 200 MB, you will see a warning and the file will not be sent. Reduce the size by sending fewer periods. You can, for example, send the first half year and then the second half year, or you can divide it into quarters or one for every month. Altinn will validate the report file when you upload it. When you see a status similar to "Altinn archive number: AR3833490 Report was sent successfully to the government" it means that the report has passed the XML validation. You will not get any other information about the status in Visma Net, but you can log on to Altinn to see future status changes. The system does an internal validation according to the XML schema, to make sure it follows the minimum requirements. Some columns can be longer than what the schema allows and will then be truncated to avoid errors. If this button is disabled, it is because one or all of the fields are empty in the SAF-T report information section on the Altinn settings tab in the Organisations (CS101500) window. This information is mandatory in the report. If you click Download file, you can create the report and download it to your computer. Use this method if you want to send the report to your accounting auditor or export it to another system. The file is automatically zipped to reduce the size of the file that is stored on your disk. If this button is disabled, it is because the Contact person field is empty in the SAF-T report information section on the Altinn settings tab in the Organisations (CS101500)window. This information is mandatory in the report. |
